Setting up an MTS Internet connection for Windows. How to set up Internet from MTS on Android

High-speed mobile Internet from MTS is available on a variety of devices. Thus, both owners of simple phones and smartphones on Android and iOS can take advantage of the mobile operator’s offers. In addition, 3G and 4G Internet is becoming increasingly popular when organizing private Wi-Fi access points using a router.

After purchasing an MTS SIM card with a connected tariff plan designed for using mobile Internet, any user is faced with the need to configure his device. The problem is that not everyone is able to understand the MTS mobile Internet settings. However, every problem has a solution.

As part of this guide, we will talk about how to set up the Internet on MTS. By following our instructions, you can easily set up mobile Internet on any smartphone or router in a couple of minutes.

There is nothing complicated about setting up MTS Internet on Android. All you need to do is change the values ​​of some parameters of your Android device:

Important! Pay attention to the custom parameter “Authentication type”; if by default it is set to “Not installed”, it is better to change it to “No”. This will guarantee more correct operation of the mobile Internet on an Android device. These are the parameters that the provider itself recommends using.

On gadgets running iOS

The process of setting up MTS mobile Internet on iOS devices is generally identical to the process of setting up the Internet on Android. So, you must first set the correct APN, and also change some other settings.

Important! The instructions below are for iOS version 9.0 and higher.

So, in order to set up MTS Internet on iOS you need to:

  1. Open the Settings menu.
  2. Find the Cellular section.
  3. Next go to "Data Options" and select from the list "Cellular data network".
  4. The cellular network settings section will open. There are three sections you need to fill out: "Cellular Data", "LTE" and "Tethering Mode". To do this, you must enter internet.mts.ru in the APN field, and mts in the username and password fields. These parameters must be specified in all three sections.

We also add that iOS tablets already have all the necessary settings for working in the cellular networks of the MTS operator.

On MTS routers

Any user who has previously had experience working with networks will be able to set up an MTS router without any problems. If you don’t have any previous experience, there’s nothing to worry about, because following our instructions, you can set up your router without any problems.

  1. The first step is to connect the router to your computer and install the necessary software. For this, as a rule, you use the USB cable included in the kit.
  2. After the router is connected, the USB driver will be automatically installed, as well as the MTS Connect manager.
  3. When the manager is completely installed, launch it. Go to the "Wi-Fi Settings" section.
  4. Now you need to set a password for the access point. Please note that the router initially already has a preset password, which can be changed if desired.
  5. While the router is operating in offline mode, it can be easily configured using the web configuration interface, which can be accessed through a regular web browser installed on the computer. To do this, enter 192.168.0.1 into the address bar.
  6. In the settings panel, set the APN value to internet.mts.ru, specify mts as the login and password. Enter *99# as the dial-up number.

Important! Through the web interface, you can change many parameters of the MTS router, which, among other things, directly affect the performance of the router and the availability of the Wi-Fi network. Be carefull.

How to get Internet auto settings

In some cases, you can configure your device to work with the Internet automatically. All you need to do for this is request MTS Internet settings from the operator and save them.

It is worth noting that in most cases (in particular, when it comes to modern devices), all the automatic Internet settings necessary for operation are loaded when the SIM card is installed in the phone. However, if you are using a relatively old device, it is likely that you will have to make manual MTS Internet settings.

How to order Internet settings on MTS manually? It's simple, to order settings you need to send an empty SMS to 1234. When setting up the Internet in this way, simply save the settings received via SMS.

Important! Auto-tuning is a simple, but at the same time not always working method. If this does not allow you to configure, use the other methods described above.

Conclusion

We hope that the article was useful to you and, following our instructions, you were able to set up MTS mobile Internet on your phone without any problems.

If you have any questions related to the setup or operation of the modem and router, or something does not work out during setup, you can always turn to MTS specialists for help by calling the short service number 0890.

Many clients have recently increasingly connected themselves with additional options or tariff plans with traffic that allows them to access the Internet. The time has already passed when a mobile device was used only for communication. Today it is a means for work or entertainment. In any case, to use the phone as comfortably as possible, you will need the Internet. All television systems monitor new trends and offer to connect only profitable services or tariff plans.

MTS offers its subscribers several types of options that allow them to use the Internet on their phone. However, before connecting to the service, you need to set up your phone and network access. As part of this review, we will consider methods of how to connect the Internet to an MTS phone, as well as what offers you can use from the communications company.

Before connecting to options or tariffs, you need to configure your device. Two methods are used for this:

  1. Automatic setup.
  2. Manual setting.

As a rule, modern gadgets, after placing a SIM card in them, independently configure all the necessary parameters, and as for access to the Internet, the settings are received in the form of an SMS with data. After opening, the client is asked to save the information. When the data is saved, you need to restart the device and you can enjoy surfing the Internet. But this doesn’t always happen; sometimes the SMS doesn’t arrive, and subscribers need to configure everything themselves.

In order to get automatic settings, you must use one of the methods:

  1. You can go to the MTS website, and then go to the support tab. Then go to the phone settings section and enter your mobile phone in the menu, as well as answer the question that will be indicated. Next, you need to wait a few minutes, and the information will be sent in the form of SMS to the specified number.
  2. You can also use another method. For this purpose, MTS has a special key combination * 111 * 18 #. After entering, you should make a call to send the request.
  3. Another activation method is to send a message to service number 111 with code 2122.

When the settings arrive, you need to save them and reboot your mobile phone. After this, you will need to check your network access. If access is blocked even after automatic settings, you will need to proceed to manual, independent settings. To do this, you will need to go to your phone settings and go to the mobile networks tab. After that, enter the following information in the lines:

  1. You must put any name in the profile line, for example, MTS internet.
  2. Then GPRS is indicated in the column with data channels.
  3. The address internet.mts.ru is registered as an access point.
  4. MTS is entered in the login and password lines.
  5. The remaining cells should be left unchanged.

Now that access has been established, you can proceed to selecting and connecting services with a certain amount of traffic.

Options for mobile Internet

The MTS provider offers its users to activate a couple of services to access the World Wide Web, namely BIT and SuperBIT. These options differ in cost and traffic volume provided.

For more detailed information, please study the information on services:

After spending the daily amount of megabytes, the speed will decrease to 64 Kbps. The price of the service is 200 rubles. If there was no money at the time the subscription fee was written off, then the charge will be 8 rubles on a daily basis until the client replenishes his balance. The service only works within its region. The option does not apply to Russia. You can connect the service to your mobile phone by entering the request * 252 #.
  2. The SuperBIT service will allow you to use more traffic, and it is provided not every day, but once a month, in the amount of 3 GB. The offer does not include speed limits, except for the full consumption of gigabytes. The subscription fee for the service will be 350 rubles per month.

There are several options for setting up MTS Internet, done automatically or manually. A detailed description of these procedures will help even an inexperienced user to easily adjust Internet access.

Proper configuration of 3G Internet allows you to get correct access to the Network from any device, be it a phone, modem or router. Typically, all installations occur automatically at the moment of registering data on the network. If this does not happen, then you can use one of several options and configure everything yourself.

Automatic Internet setup MTS

Installing a new SIM card is the easiest way to set all parameters on the device automatically without your participation. But unfortunately, this procedure is not always successful. In particular, this applies to outdated models. In this case, to gain access to the Network, you can use two methods to automatically configure mobile Internet: using the official website or sending SMS from your phone.

Automatic installation of mobile Internet on the MTS website

To open access to the Network on your phone, you need to go to the company’s official website in the “Internet and TV” section and click the tab "Help and Service". After this the page will open www.mts.ru/mobil_inet_and_tv/help/settings/settings_phone, which will contain information about the network installation.

There is a window here with a detailed description of the actions to obtain the basic parameters. To do this you need to take several steps:

  1. Enter your phone number in the special window. Automatic parameters for installation will be sent to it.
  2. Before sending, you must pass the “Anti-robot” check, which is presented in the form of a group of images.

After confirming the request, the system should send the parameters to the phone within a few minutes. You need to save them and then reboot your phone. Only after this will they come into force.

Automatic installation of mobile Internet using SMS notifications

Using this method, you can access the Internet using your phone in just one action. To do this, you need to send an empty message to number 1234. In response, the service will send an SMS with data for access to the Network. In addition, the messages contain additional information about installing MMS.

Manual setting

If automatic 3G Internet setup does not work, you can try to do it manually. To do this, you must manually enter standard parameters in the device menu:

  • In the “profile name” column enter – MTS Internet. In principle, you can write any word you like here;
  • indicate internet.mts.ru as APN or access point;
  • transmission channel – GPRS;
  • user (name) – mts;
  • The current password is mts.

The listed data is the same for all operating systems. The only difference is the way they are entered.

Important:Depending on the device model, the menu interface may differ slightly. Therefore, the configuration paths described below are only approximate.

Operating system iOS

As a rule, devices with this operating system already initially have correct access to the Network. Therefore, manual configuration of the MTS mobile Internet may be necessary if the data suddenly disappears. In this case, you need to perform several actions:

  • you need to open the “Settings” section;
  • stop on the “Basic” tab;
  • open the column "Cellular Data" and onwards "Cellular data network";
  • Next, enter the main parameters.

After entering the data, be sure to save it.

Android operating system

  • enter the main menu;
  • then open the tab "Wireless connection", where we check the box in the item "Mobile Internet";
  • after that we enter "Mobile networks" and enter the standard parameters for installing the Internet on the phone.

If at point "Mobile networks" there is no designated profile, you need to create it manually by clicking the window "Create a new connection point". Here we enter the same parameters as indicated above: name, APN, password, login. We leave the following data the same. On some models in the window "Authentication Type" instead of installing "Not installed" should be set to "No".

Windows Phone System

Manual settings of 3G Internet on Windows are carried out in several steps:

  1. in the list of the main menu we find the corresponding tab;
  2. open the window here "Data transfer";
  3. select an item “Add an Internet access point”, where in the APN tab we indicate the standard parameters.

Important:To receive detailed instructions for installing the Internet, a company user can call the service number 0890. When contacting from a landline phone or from a number of another operator, you should use the phone number 8 800 250 0890.
